Surprise Birthday Party

Her measured steps in crimson walk,

. . . grass and sidewalk, blows with chalk,

Dark asphalt arrows, seem to know,

. . . as white slow smoke begins to grow,

In shadowed sun where children play,

. . . the cool winds blow the clouds away,

Before soft voice whispers, 'do not',

. . . peppermint burns when sipped too hot,

The place alive with birthday surprise,

. . . pits its wits against the days demise,

But it ends with darkness, black as night,

. . . the party's over and we must take flight.

The challenge was to use the words in this wordle to make a new poem - I think I used them all!
